Flying high

Well now, yesterday my family and I took the Singapore Flyer. duh. hahaha. Sorry, I'm personally not so interested with the flyer but i'll make its as interesting as possible.


Currently the world's tallest ferris wheel, one ride takes about half and hour and initially was meant to travel in an anti clockwise direction. But fengshui masters said its in-auspisious. so okay lor. change la.


Aiyah, personally, 2 reasons why i'm not really into it is because, being the world's tallest ferris wheel, it doesnt even look like its very high la. Not impressive nor overwhelming, i mean, with the little exposure i have, shouldnt a ferris wheel bigger then the london eye (which i imagine to be very big) be very erm...big? But i'm sorry, looks matter and the Singapore Flyer just doesnt cut it, It doesnt look very tall ok!? Even when i'm on it muahahaha.



2nd reason why I'm not so impressed is because we got some lame competitors. For this year-2008, the Singapore Flyer would be the tallest in the world. ookay...cool. Then NEXT year, and the year after that, China, India would each have a "tallest ferris wheel" in the world claim, which means err..all that cash spent on the Singapore Flyer is .... well nvm, go catch the ferris wheel now so that you get bragging rights to claim that at one point in your life, you did indeed ride on the tallest ferris wheel in the world.


So err, the above is a picture of the F1 track.





I got on board the flyer around sunset, so the view is quite nice, I suggest going there on a date, rather then for the purpose of viewing experience, since if you were to go down there simply for it, you might get disappointed. heh heh, and yes, this post is rather pessimistic muahahaha. But there are nice views, and nicer views once construction for the IR's are done, since only then will the landscape look complete.


Anyways, dinner with my family uncles aunties etc, had coffee bean with my grandma :DD then listen to her speeches on how to live life hahaha.

Oh well, gonna go get ready for school now. heh.
